Care
-
Does well in indirect light that is medium to bright. Lower indirect light is tolerable. Intense, direct sunlight is not recommended.

Most houseplants enjoy temperatures in the 65°F to 85°F (18°C-30°C) range; they can tolerate dry air. It's good to keep it above 60°F (15°C).
-
Use a potting mix that drains properly. To encourage soil aeration, add substances like perlite or lava rocks as needed.
